Building for fun

Article Abstract:

A meeting was held for the construction industry on how they could win building projects for the UK leisure industry. Speakers pointed out they needed to be able to communicate with managers on site. They felt it was very important the managers were experienced and understood health and safety rules. Spending on construction for the leisure industry is likely to rise by 10% in 1999-2000 from 2.4 billion pounds sterling in 1998. Most speakers reiterated the importance of contracters keeping to time and cost budgets. The meeting was held by 'Building' and IBM during Nov 1999.
